📋 About This Mod
Description
Esoteric Joker gains X0. 1 Mult every time a Tarot card is used.
After several test-runs I realized that Esoteric scales much faster in comparison with Constellation, so the two variants of the mod were created:
1) Balance-oriented: Esoteric is rare and costs $8
2) Original: Esoteric is uncommon and costs $6 (similar to Constellation)
The mod was tested both on Windows and macOS.
Requirements
The latest release of Lovely and Steamodded.
Installation
To install unzip the folder in AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods.
A small card mod that adds a Joker card designed to synergize with Cartomancer, offering strong combo potential for players using tarot-focused builds. With 3 endorsements and 304 downloads, it's a niche addition for dedicated fans of card mechanics.
